Explanation of Media Outlet Types

It's important to understand the differences between “daily media” and “trade publications,” as well as “syndication,” prior to reviewing our media lists, so that you know more about what you're looking at. If you're fairly new to PR, you may also wish to read about the difference between PR and direct marketing.

When news is disseminated, it's generally highly-targeted to reach specific daily media as well as trade/consumer publications. These represent the media outlets that might consider your news announcement to be of interest and in turn present that news in some form to their own audience. Additionally news may be syndicated (or “cloned”) onto a vast number of sites, but which is completely automated.

DAILY MEDIA: This most often refers to U.S. regional newspapers (daily and weeklies) and broadcast (television and radio). So you will see many distribution plans which describe a push to “daily media” in one state, regional, or national. This specifically identifies that news will be sent to “daily media” in specific areas.

For one example, a newspaper in Arizona might not care about a local event in Miami, so there would be no purpose in sending a press release to that media outlet. Send2Press offers plans that cover daily media nationally, or more focused to a region (like NE, or NY-NJ-CT), or to a single state, allowing you to more accurately target the media who might actually be interested in the news you're announcing.

TRADE PUBLICATIONS: Trade pubs is a term which encompasses print magazines which are published for specific audiences, both in niche trades (like engineering), and broad consumer appeal (like music or fashion). Most magazines are considered “national” since anybody in the U.S. can subscribe to them. Magazines are placed into categories for simplifying both distribution of news announcements and in specifying a target audience for an individual news announcement.

So, some magazines might fall into a category like “Construction” which would be differet from “Computing” or “Books & Publishing”. Some news crosses multiple categories, such as a book about construction, or financial services software.

No news announcement can be sent to “all contacts” in our databases, as that would be news spam. News can only be sent to those outlets which cover the specific type of news actually being announced.

NEWS SYNDICATION: Most newswire services, including Send2Press, rely on news syndicators (and aggregators) to extend the online reach of each news announcement by automatically publishing the news onto various websites, often to fill space on said sites.

These are not traditional “pick-ups,” since there is no editor byline, and the staff at the syndication sites might not even read the announcement. It's a way of raising reach at a very low added cost to each project. Primarily this element was developed for agencies to show ROI on a project to a client. It also allows newswires to claim “guaranteed placement” on news portals, although in reality the long-term value is fairly low.

Syndicated sites have no direct relationship with where your news was sent. So, you might choose to do a 4-states or regional distribution, or even a single state distribution; your news might be sent by email to Florida daily media, but it will also be syndicated onto websites in California, Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, etc., as part of the syndication package.

(*Note: Prior to 2013 Send2Press eschewed some of these syndication systems – like the Financial Content Network – as having little value, but they were added for competitive purposes and due to customer requests.)

PR is just one component of an overall marketing strategy. Press releases are not sent to individuals (except certain known bloggers) or to companies outside the media industry. Our “media lists” refer to the media outlets we send news to. This is why the lists do not include companies, businesses, or individuals within any specific industry.

News announcements push to the media (newspapers, broadcast, print publications, blogs and news sites), and not the public. It's very different from direct marketing, which is focused on reaching consumers or business owners directly.

So, press releases go to the media (such as a magazine about books), while direct maketing sends promotional materials to businesses, such as book stores.

Quick Jump to Social Media

If you would like a quick tour of how our news appears on some of the top social media channels, complete with text snippets, and large photos/images, you can click/tap any of the icons below (each will open in new browser tab/window).

IMPORTANT NOTICE: We do not handle subscriptions, advertising, or local delivery of any of the publications listed on this page (below). Send2Press is a “newswire” service and not a “rack jobber news service” or similar. We do not sell or rent media contact information such as names, phone or email data, which would violate our privacy policy.

Our Media Lists and Newslines

Send2Press® Newswire offers two distinct levels of news distribution service plans. Our media lists below will be organized by service plan type.

Our Premium Plans (formerly called Extended Plans) extend what we do with additional dissemination and syndication through our strategic partner, PR Newswire® (PRN). Our value-add plans give you wider distribution at lower cost than using PRN directly, with full Visibility Reporting dashboard, and no membership fees.

Send2Press® U.S. Daily Media Outlets

All news is targeted where possible. This means we send food news to the food editor at daily newspapers, and not the books/publishing editor (unless it was about a cookbook). We do not “spam” all editors at every outlet!

Information believed accurate but not guaranteed, and subject to change. Some fictional news outlets may be present in lists to help thwart rampant plagiarism of our content.

Send2Press® U.S. Trade/Consumer Magazines

These lists specify the “trade publications” (print publications and also select online pubs) we target when sending press releases by email Direct-to-Editors™.

Publications will be shown generally in only one main category in these lists even though a publication like Esquire actually falls into many different topic categories. Publications are targeted by appropriate industry(s) based on actual content or press release.

As part of our “concierge” service, we choose all the appropriate industry categories for you when issuing your news, so you don't have to worry about making sure your news reaches the right audience.

List of trade publications (magazines) organized by name (alphabetically).

Note: Some trade publications will not appear in our lists above, either due to: a) request to not send releases; b) requirement to submit news only via an online form; or c) some publications are only for trade groups, and only accept news directly from members.

Send2Press® Content Partners and Syndication Networks

In addition to sending press releases by email Direct-to-Editors™ based on location and industry topic(s), our news is also syndicated/cloned onto numerous websites via networks and partnerships, shared with social media, and archived into the top news information systems.

Neotrope® News Network

Launched in 2000, the Neotrope News Network comprises both U.S. state-focused newswires, as well as industry-focused trade publications. Neotrope is a 30+ year old publisher, involved in books, music, video, multimedia and content marketing. The company was an Inc. 5000 listed company in 2009, is a member of GS1 for barcodes, is listed with the RIAA for ISRC subcodes, and with Bowker for ISBNs. Staff are members of ASCAP, PRSA and other leading trade groups.

Financial Content Network

The Financial Content (FC) Network syndicates/clones news from the top 15 newswire services onto several hundred websites worldwide. Some sites are hosted in frames, or sub-domains with branding of main site, and these don't appear in search results. However, the news does appear on many top news portals like Boston.com, etc. Primarily intended to disseminate financial news for public companies, normal business news is also included in this system with every Send2Press® distribution plan.

Syndicators and Aggregators

Neotrope/Send2Press has numerous contractual strategic partnerships with content syndicators/aggregators who ensure our news content is archived and made available in some of the top information data systems worldwide.

Premium Plan U.S. Trade/Consumer Magazines

Publications often fall into multiple trade categories in this list (e.g., one pub may appear in Banking/Finance but also in Insurance; however we don't send duplicate emails to same contact). Publications are targeted by appropriate industry(s) based on actual content or press release.

As part of our “concierge” service, we choose all the appropriate industry categories for you when issuing your news, so you don't have to worry about making sure your news reaches the right audience.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Placement on any specific website (news portal, social media, search engine) or in any magazine or news outlet cannot be guaranteed. A press release is not an advertisement, but an invitation to the media to consider use of your news if considered of interest to that specific outlet's audience. Additionally, there is no guarantee content (text and/or images) will appear on any specfic syndication portal, social media outlet, or news aggregator mentioned on this page, due to technical issues outside our control.
